S12.E05: Not So Model Behavior

[Hangin Out]

I just now realized Ramoaner is a pain in the ass.  Not only is she not all there in the head, but she’s a lousy hostess, leaves her friends to go on a secret date, orders oysters for herself,and makes them clean up in her house when she disappears.  I seriously believe she thinks she’s above them all, and they are beneath her.  Delusional.  Also, I doubt those wealthy  so called “friends” would let her in their circle.

Good grief, Dorinda. We get it. You think Tinsley is an idiot. Not everyone has a hard knock life and I understood what she was saying. Her mom still tries to control her at 44 years old. The curly hair issue was just an example. Get off your high horse, lady. 

It’s rich coming from the woman who said she doesn’t know anything about Tinsley. She’s basically telling you something right now, Dorin. She even mentioned that it was “symbolic.” I’m really starting to despise Dorinda...

[TexasGal]

Ok, I’m not gonna lie, once Sonja said that sweatsuit was cashmere I totally would have kept it.  I wouldn’t have worn it to a fashion show but I wouldn’t have given it back.  Of course, it could have been “cashmere” the way that fashion show was designed by “Sonja” so, maybe not.

I bet that Leah could actually have worn the pants with heels and some great top and looked better than Sonja did in whatever she was wearing.

I’ve become obsessed with watching eye makeup tutorials on Facebook during quarantine.  Like, they apply all this eye shadow over the whole lid and then put concealer over half of it and then put more on over the concealer.  It makes no sense to me at all.  Sorry, off topic rant brought to you Stella Artois.

Dorinda's issues with Tinsley are odd to me because I can remember not too many years ago Tinsley, Dorinda and now-irrelevant Carole all went to Dubai together off-season (with Adam, Scott, and John in tow). I don't know about you, but I don't take lavish vacations with people "I don't know" and who don't "share their life". That puzzles me every time Dorinda speaks ill of Tinsley. I was watching the Season 9 marathon today and Dorinda is like a totally different person. I felt bad for Tinsley watching Dorinda at the table and then the snarky comments in her talking head. Again, good grief.

I had to give this its own post, because it was uniquely disgusting on a show and network full of disgusting displays:

Dorinda said she had a skirt with “General” Mao on it and it was “gangstery” and “fashionable”?  What’s “fashionable” about a man who killed and tortured and starved millions of people?  Mao was a 20th century totalitarian dictator, right up there with Hitler and Stalin, except I would argue that he was worse.  What is “gangster” or “fashionable” about a man who sent people to prison camps and starved them by the millions?  How can she say that?  He is, according to The Washington Post, “the biggest mass murderer in the history of the world.”  He killed 45 million people between 1958 to 1962.  

This is by far the most disgusting display I have ever heard from a Housewife, bar none.  Leah saying “weird white people” has absolutely nothing on this.  

I get that Dorinda, who is supposedly a good, self-described “pure” woman is probably ignorant and not malicious in her comments, but she either has to cop to having not passed high school history (ninth grade) or just say she supports evil.  I have no way that it would be anything other than one of the two.  

How dare she compare Lil Kim to Mao?  She owes Lil Kim a huge apology, and I think she owes everyone in society a giant apology for supporting a genocidal maniac dictator.  I am so angry that Dorinda, a sophisticated woman about London and New York City, would sanction Mao and it would be taken blithely.  Where is Andy Cohen going to come out on this?  

I am not only going to be paying attention to how the network handles this, but how the people who ought to know better who say they support Dorinda react to this.  Whoever hears about it and doesn’t condemn it ought to be judged IMO.

I have no idea what else to say, except that Dorinda made Leah and Sonja look positively demure and genteel.  

If this keeps going on, I don’t know if I can watch this show anymore.  Maybe Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is all bullshit and gossip and fashion, but as far as I know, none of them have made a comment this morally outrageous.  I will never look at Dorinda Medley the same again, she can save all the animals in a burning pet store like PeeWee Herman, and she won’t be redeemed until she realizes the gravity of what she said and apologizes profusely.  

John, don’t walk, run.  I wonder if how now how “gangstery” and “fashionable” this c-word found the Armenian Genocide.  Alright, I got nothing nice to say.  I’m gonna peace.

After watching that guy put all of that makeup on Dorinda, you're totally on topic!   I thought it was a little much.  I went to a department store makeup counter once (I can't remember the brand,)  but the lady kept putting on layer after layer of foundation and other stuff and I felt like I looked like a clown!  I wiped it all off before I walked through the Mall.  Dorinda looked a little too bronzed for my tastes.  I'm in the camp of 'less is more.'   YMMV.

That sweatsuit being cashmere is probably as true as Sonja having a line of toaster ovens.

Sonja talking about the orchids she had at her "fashion show" that she got at Home Depot just killed me.  I HOWLED!!  Those other flowers looked like something one of her "interns" picked up at the grocery store!  MY grocery store has better flower selections that those poor dozen white & pink carnations!  Just sayin'.

Also, because I was so bored, I took a look at "Sonja by Sonja Morgan" webpage.  Jeebus. I think there were about 35 items total.  That's SOME important "lifestyle brand" she's got going.

And Moaner's hair upthread really looked a LOT better than that stringy mess she's sporting now.

I feel bad for John Mahdessian. He seems like a nice enough person. He’s social. Why shouldn’t he go to parties he’s invited to? I don’t get the pickup vibe from him. I never, ever liked Kristen Taekman either. If he was hot she wouldn’t have had a problem with him shimmying and having a little fun dancing when they were at that party. If I’m remembering it correctly. Same with Tinsley. If he was hot she wouldn’t care if he was sweaty. 

I think Leah’s cashmere sweat suit was probably Cashmink like the scarves ☺️ And yeah those were tooootally grocery store flowers. They were pretty though.

Dorinda is probably going through the change and her head has left her body. I feel like all of these women went way off the rails when it happened to them, save for Leah and Tinsley. I shudder to think about how it’s going to affect Bethenny. I’m infinitely glad we won’t have to watch it unfold on RHoNY!!

Just because NY Fashion Week occurred during the same Time/ Space Continuum as Sonja (by Sonja Morgan) had a Bravo-paid for gathering of several “celebrities and buyers” (randos off the street),  in a sad restaurant space with flowers that looked like her “team” (additional randos) stole them from a vendor in the subway, with “models” (more randos), “hired” (given $20 and a coupon for a free slice of Ray’s Famous Pizza) from several different “agencies” (benches in Washington Square Park) does not mean Sonja “showed” at NYFW! 

And I believe that gray set of pjs/ quarantine couture wasn’t cashmere.  It was more likely made from a Sonja-exclusive fabric called ‘Deluxe-sional’. Luxe fibers for the delusional designers of clothing lines (& lifestyle brands) that don’t exist.   It’s actually a highly flammable knockoff synthetic so cheap that even Old Navy and Forever 21 refuse to use it in their sweatshops.

Since Sonya gets her cheap clothing from China’s Aliexpress, you can bet it’s either bottom of the line nasty cashmere or fake.  I can’t believe she still gets away with this scam.

She’s divorced a long time now.  Why is she still so entitled?  How long is she going to pull this Countessa thing?  Or should I say Cuntessa?  She was embarrassing going after the male groomer at Ramona’s house.  I was ashamed for her.  She’ll screw anything that’s not screwed down.

I bet you can find all of "Sonja by Sonja Morgan" there.  

I'll give it to Sonja - she's finally found a way to make some money.  

I also wonder if she's feeling a bit downclass - remember when she chided Luann for Luann's clothing line selling on Evine when compare to Sonja's first clothing line - I remember her saying something like "My line is for the classes, Luann designs for the masses" - well, isn't that what ready to wear is marketed to, as well - the masses??  My, how the mighty have fallen!!

Here's the link from Sonja's website:  

https://sonjabysonjamorgan.com/collections/loungewear/products/off-duty-knit-set

It says the material is cashmere, cotton and polyester - just doesn't give the percentages, or laundering instructions.  If it's machine washable, it's probably less than 20% cashmere.

I think unless Sonja had already purchased a huge amount of stock and is keeping it in a warehouse somewhere in the city, she's going to run into a problem.  Most of this stuff is mass produced in China, and with the Coronavirus, there are very long shipping delays to the States.

Haha. What gave it away? Was it the sad tray of cold cuts, discount floral arrangements amounting to no more than $35 in total, lack of professional lighting/sound/set design, or the merchandise that was already available for sale produced by other brands? 

Honestly, in what universe did Mrs. Morgan think her 'showing' would pass for a NYFW sanctioned event? Her event may have been contemporaneous to the NYFW shows and on the island of Manhattan, but that's about where the similarities ended.

I thought that Sonja missed an opportunity to revive the toaster oven line. She could have had the models walk down the runway holding the toaster oven boxes. Did we actually ever see an oven, or just the boxes? 

So Dorinda bashes John at every turn, doesn't want him to live with her, from what I remember doesn't even want him to stay over, yet thinks he should spend every night with her, and not go anywhere she doesn't want to go. Got it. A poster on last week's thread mentioned that John is actually quite accomplished, so I read an article on him. It was an interesting article on his background, how he got into the family business, and how much he has devoted to the business since then. From what I can see, he is way more accomplished than Dorinda. 

It was interesting hearing Leah describe her relationship with her ex (a partnership that is not at all unusual as much as she might think it is ) and then to actually see their interaction. From what I can see, he is the mature parent (no surprise) and appears to treat Leah as a second child that he needs to keep an eye on. I would imagine even more so after her stint at Ramona's. Her daughter must be so proud to see her mother buck naked and acting like a drunken fool.

Wow, Leah’s offices are impressive.  Why didn’t she have a fashion show?  I would think the exposure from the show should help the brand.

I don’t think the whole place was hers. It looked like one of those shared office spaces.

I think Dorinda was probably referring to the famous Warhol print of Mao reproduced on a dress. I dont think she was saying that Mao himself was "cool" or comparing him to Lil Kim. Not a Dorinda defender here, just old enough to remember the Warhol days in NY

Ramona has a new couture dress with the image of Little Kim Jong-un.

Best of both worlds.

That was my impression as well — hers was one laptop among a sea of laptops. I would think she’d have her own office if that space was owned by MTTB.

I can’t get over how rude Ramona was this episode. That woman literally has no redeeming qualities.

The edit was kinder of Dorinda and Sonja at the fashion show than in reality where they had to apologize for their transphobic comments which were worse than not showing up for a show where unless it’s a shitty show there are people who can be moved. 

I don’t eat them as creepily as Ramona but I could easily eat more than her.

Dorinda has said repeatedly that John isn’t allowed to stay over at her apartment throughout her time on the show and now it’s an issue that he is doing his own thing as he always has hence the infamous “what are you doing here without Dorinda?” quote.

There was no way that was actual cashmere. No one who touched it commented that it at least felt nice and it looked like coarse over the tv!

Dorinda looked a little too bronzed for my tastes.  

She needed that Madame Paulette stain kit to clean her sour puss.

Yes - the dress was probably 1990s Vivienne Tam ("Dear Diary; I wore my old gangsta Vivenne Tam to the One Percenter Oligarchs Labor Day Barbecue that Richard's peeps hosted,  and I was the belle of the ball  -  licking sticky chicken skin off my fingers & asking  Bishop Desmond Tutu to hang up my Stalin coat - a truly magical night...")

Ramona's inner monologue: If anybody reaches for my food I will shank a bitch.

Sonja: I just Jitney-peed in the front row of a Pamella Roland show.

Leah: She dares give me that pink hat? Like I'm Queen Elizabeth working a motherfucking rope line when I INVENTED streetware? It's fucking on, LADY.

Tinsley: CARBS CARBS CARBS.

Luann: I'd fuck myself, marry myself, and kill these rhony heffas.

I would like to see Ramona and BH’s Sutton in a cage match to the death. Both of them so rude that it’s mind boggling, while going around pointing fingers at everyone else telling them how rude they are like Captains of the Manners Police. 
 

Ramona berating Tinsley the second she walked in about the way she left her room knowing Ramona didn’t have a housekeeper was rich.  The only thing that is clear from all the bitching Ramona has done about how her guests didn’t clean up her house is that she should have hired help. WHY DIDN’T SHE HIRE HELP? She literally shit on the floor of a mansion and left it there for someone else to clean, but she doesn’t think it’s necessary to hire anyone to help keep her own house in order during a drunken party weekend? 
 

Then Ramona had to tell Tinsley she walked down the runway too fast???  Ramona is the last person who can tell anybody the right way to work a runway, I mean come on, the hypocrisy is blinding.

I was hoping to never see Ramona eating an oyster ever again, and then to add in her making sex noises while exercising? There is almost nothing about Ramona that doesn’t make me sick. 
 

LuAnn is like a grifter, going around stealing services from people who are being paid by someone else. I would be impressed by it if I didn’t think she’s such an asshole. Maybe next week they will show her crashing a wedding just to eat some free caviar and snag a floral centerpiece for her apartment.

I like the shorter hair on Sonja, it takes a few years off of her face.

Dorinda is such a miserable downer now. Hard to believe this is the same person from her first season. 
 

I still really miss Bethenny.

Vivienne Tam was my first thought also. I remember when her collection came out ( I'm old) when I was in college, and there was this very uncomfortable showdown between the people that were enraged at Mao's image (with pigtails, cross eyed, etc...) being used so flippantly, and those who wore the prints as a way of taking back power (?) Since both sides were of Chinese heritage, it was interesting to see such a strong divergence in opinion.

 

Really wish Leah would stop drinking. Why after so many years of sobriety would she set herself up like that again? My dad was a very hard core alcoholic for 20 years and now has been sober for 20. I'm incredibly proud and grateful (although it would have been nice if he had gotten there a little sooner. My childhood comes with great stories, but I don't know, I'm thinking a sane or sober parent would have probably been good too) but if you ask him, he knows he's still just as much of an addict-just a non practicing one. I  keep thinking about Leah's daughter. Argh.
